  • Page 9: Ntroduction

    The hubs in the series, available in 16-port and 24-port models, can be stacked with up to four hubs in a stack. A stack of four 24- port hubs gives a total of 96 Fast Ethernet ports. A 16/24 port...

  • Page 12: Identifying External Components

    Identifying External Components This section identifies all the major external components of the hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a de- scription of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter.
  • Page 13: Rear Panel

    In 24-port model, port 12 and the Uplink-1 port, port 24 and the Uplink-2 is really the same port, except that their pinouts are different. Do not use both Port 12 and the Uplink-1 port, Port 24 and the Uplink-2 port at the same time.
  • Page 14 Daisy-Chain OUT port of the previ- ous hub in the stack (usually placed immediately above it). A cascade of four hubs can be created in this way. The first and last hubs in the stack use only one of the daisy-chain ports, while the others use both.
  • Page 15: Installing The Hub

    Fast Ethernet Stackable Hubs User’s Guide Installing the Hub Installation The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its per- formance. When installing, consider the following pointers: ♦ Install the hub stack in a fairly cool and dry place.
  • Page 16: Rack Mounting

    Rack Mounting The hub can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. At- tach the mounting brackets at the hub’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.

  • Page 18: Hub State Indicators

    This indicators indicate data collisions on the respective 100Mbps Fast Ethernet segments of the hub. (If several hubs are stacked or linked together, all of them should detect and indicate the same collision, since collisions span the entire net- work segment.) Whenever a collision is detected, the respective COL indicator will briefly blink amber.
  • Page 19: Port State Indicators

    This indicator green when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station , If the station to which the hub is con- nected is powered off, or if there is a problem with the link, the LED will remain off. And the indicator blinking green when the data will be received to all other connected ports.
  • Page 21: Aking Onnections

    Use the provided daisy-chain cable to connect the Daisy-Chain OUT port on the rear panel of one hub to the Daisy-Chain IN port on the hub below it, as shown in the figure below. Repeat this pro- cedure for each hub to be included in the stack.
  • Page 22: Connectivity Rules

    Fast Ethernet Stackable Hubs User’s Guide Hubs should not be added to the stack or removed from the stack while the power is on to any hub in the stack. Always turn power to the entire stack before adding or removing hubs.
  • Page 23: Hub To End-Station Connection

    Class II hubs or hub stacks. Hub to End-Station Connection After installing the hub properly, it can support up to 24 ports or 16 port end-station connections. Fast Ethernet connections re- quire either a Category 5 UTP cable or a STP cable. These cables can be up to 100 meters long.
  • Page 24 Fast Ethernet Stackable Hubs User’s Guide When connecting a PC or a server, the system being connected should have a Fast Ethernet network interface card with a twisted-pair port. The following figure shows a typical connection between the hub and end-stations:...
